Social Sustainability
Policies and Initiatives
While a social sustainability perspective is relatively new, Richmond has a strong tradition of social planning, community service delivery, and responsiveness to social issues. Several departments and standing Council and citizen advisory committees are involved; and the City regularly collaborates with community groups, agencies, and external partners on social planning and community service concerns.
City initiatives, policies, and programs that promote social sustainability can generally be divided into three categories: social inclusion and accessibility; safe communities; and vibrant communities.
